Hello!
First of all thanks for such a great game.
I'm not very experienced, yet and I wonder which weapons I should mount on my ships.
I have my beginner's llama and do not intend to upgrade it much.
With my first real money I bought a Dostoevsky, got some Heavy Ion Beams and Autotracking.
But there are so many other things that sound interesting, like Disruptor beams and suchlike.
So, can anyone tell me which is their preferred armament?
a) for a Dostoevsky
b) a Goddard

Oh, and which ship would you suggest for Bounty Hunting, which one for Trading?

Thanks alot.

Believe it or not, for trading (running your own cargo, not mission cargo), I recommend a Dodo. It has a sizeable cargo capacity, but doesn't handle like a wet sponge. You can't beat the price either! (7500 credits)

If you want to be a smuggler that uses cloaking. Your best bet is to find a cloaking device to put on your preferred ship. You can get away with a milspec Schroedinger though, it has cloaking built-in.

I've used a Robin for missions where I expect a fight, but I'd recommend something heavier.
